Do you not think though that people have a right not to believe him? And if so, that they can say this so in the forum in an appropriate way?

Is it not beyond the bounds of possibility that he's come on here either to take the piss or attempt to make other people jealous or annoyed? I personally wouldn't envy anyone who is 7'0" because it's an obscene height, but some people might I guess.

Tell me if you are blind, or have improper eyesight ok ?

I think I MAY agree with you on some parts, When we can't see anything, there are two kinds of possibilities, he is either lying or not, but that is not to say that you people are entitled to bomb him with your self-serving conclusions.

What about my eyesight? When I last posted I hadn't seen your post before it, I started replying before but got distracted so didn't finish it til after.
I'll answer my own questions then, as I see it. Yes and yes. If he doesn't realise that coming on to a forum claiming to be 7'0" yet still wanting to be taller is going to grate with people, many of whom are insecure and feel inadequete about their height, that's his problem. People can choose whether or not to believe him, and express it in a civil manner. To me that goes without saying. I don't feel I've been rude or nasty about it, perhaps 1 or 2 have I'm not sure. Anyway, 7'0" is a very undesirable and awkward height so I don't see why anyone would be jealous, but I still think it's a wind-up.

Perhaps we have been a bit quick to jump to conclusions, but like I said, it all sounds a bit too unlikely to be true to me. This doesn't really matter to be honest, it has basically no relevance to height.

What the heck... So what if hes 7'0. If he wants to grow, he should have the chance...

I find it funny none has actually answered poor Ryoku's question =l

Well, baisically you just eat extra protein and calcium so like meat, milk, eggs, cheese, yoghurt. Keep active and dont eat 2 hours before you go to bed. Maybe do some stretches too. Dont skimp on carbs or anything. Low carbs and high protein is a dangerous diet. Try not to get caught up in all those amnio acid supplements... A lot of the time they dont work for anyone, but you can try if you like.

May I ask Ryoku, what are you doing currently as your routine? Like are you eating lots of carbs?

Jeez ... In this case, you are still harping on the same thing as the others. To set up a "TOUGHER entrance exam" for our newcomer here, for being 7'0. While I accept that it is a rare case, does it constitute an unneeded action that basically places most of us on the same level ?

You might as well tell me that in order to progress to the next level of education, a smarter student is required to take a tougher exam just to progress onto the SAME level as an average student who take an average exam.

Don't you think you are kidding yourself ? Is that fair ?

Well said WhiteNight.We shouldn't judge Ryoku if he is actually 7'0 or even 8'0, he's come here looking for help and this is what the forums all about, but anyway people you either choose to help him or you simply don't.

So you are saying that people that is already 7'0 and wanting to grow is not ridiculous? I think if someone that is 7'0 tells me that they wanted to grow taller, I would a) take it as a joke b) think that person is crazy. The only suggestion I would give to that person is to see a psychologist.

It is like telling a suicidal person how to suicide, it simply isn't right. You don't encourage those kind of behavior.

And yes, rare = little credibility. If a random person on the internet tells me that he is Hollywood Star, I would automatically assume he is lying. Can it be true, yes, but the chances? close to 0. When somebody say something ridiculous over the internet, I would not believe it.

Interesting how a random thread saying 'I'm 7 feet and trying to grow 2 inches' can actually end up in a debate if he is lying or not. The chances of this guy even returning to the forum are far too slim to actually take this thread seriously.

btw, I think we are having a pointless argument here, it is clearly a difference in opinion. I think its better for us to get this out of our system before we became mod/admin LOL.
